FOREWORD 


LURKING  somewhere  in  the  makeup  of 
j  every  normal  person,  there  is  an  im¬ 
pulse  to  have  a  hand  in  the  planning  and 
tending  of  things  that  grow.  The  concen¬ 
tration  of  population  in  large  cities  and  the 
resulting  apartment  buildings  limit  the 
yielding  to  that  impulse,  but  each  year 
sees  a  large  increase  in  the  number  of  peo¬ 
ple  who  indulge  their  desire  for  garden 
making  even  though  it  may  be  only  to  the 
extent  of  a  flower  box  in  the  window. 


More  and  more  people  are  learning  that 
they  may  enjoy  the  most  important  advan¬ 
tages  of  a  garden  without  any  tremendous 
outlay  of  money. 

In  any  garden  from  the  very  simplest  to 
the  most  formal  type, man-made  accessories 
play  a  very  important  part  in  showing  off 
nature’s  handiwork  to  its  best  advantage. 
House  and  garden  are  so  intimately  asso¬ 
ciated  with  one  another  that  the  problems 
of  garden  design  including  its  fittings  are 
necessarily  architectural,  and  it  was  only  natural  that  this  company  which 
for  nearly  3^  years  has  specialized  in  the  designing  and  building  of 
architectural  specialties  should  branch  out  into  the  planning  and  execution 
of  architectural  garden  accessories.  Beginning  in  1890  this  company  played 
an  important  part  in  the  construction  of  the  famous  world’s  fair  buildings. 
The  garden  furniture  department  was  added  seven  years  later  and  the 
classic  designs  of  Greek  and  Roman  architecture  which  for  centuries  have 
delighted  the  world  have  been  carried  over  into  the  present  day  designs 
intact  or  modified  in  keeping  with  the  various  recognized  periods  of  designs. 


Early  in  this  work  the  need  was  felt  for  a  material  more  easily  worked 
and  handled  than  natural  stone.  Immediately  experiments  were  begun 
which  resulted  in  the  development  of  Art  Stone  whose  characteristics 
permit  of  easy  reproduction  of  famous  masterpieces  of  sculpture  with 
all  the  sturdy  vigor  and  weather  resisting  qualities  of  natural  stone.  The

adaptability  of  Art  Stone  to  the  uses  of  garden  decoration,  together  with 
its  durability,  led  the  South  Park  Commissioners  of  Chicago,  to  use  it  in 
beautifying  Grant  Park,  photographic  examples  of  which  are  shown  on 
pages  1  and  3.  In  this  park  there  are  fountains,  ornamental  stairways, 
and  oyer  one  thousand  feet  of  balustrades. 

The  E.  J.  Lehman  estate  of  Lake  Villa,  Illinois,  considered  Art  Stone  to 
have  such  merits  that  it  was  used  for  a  fountain  and  pool,  the  coping 
around  the  garden,  and  a  number  of  vases. 

While  this  booklet  shows  a  great  many  different  models  and  types  of  gar¬ 
den  furniture  and  accessories,  a  carefully  worked  out  garden  scheme  often 
requires  pieces  specially  designed  to  match.  If  so  we  are  prepared  to 
execute  them. 

Our  Service  Department  gladly  gives  assistance  in  selecting  articles  for 
a  small  garden  requiring  only  one  or  two  pieces.  From  that  we  are  pre¬ 
pared  to  render  intelligent  cooperation  to  landscape  architects  and  owners 
in  the  design  and  execution  of  the  architectural  furnishings  for  large  formal 
gardens  and  estates  or  public  parks. 

We  welcome  an  opportunity  of  help  in  the  betterment  of  gardens  be 
they  large  or  small.  Address  inquiries  to  the  Service  Department.

Arrangement  of  Garden  Furniture 

By  C.  Dudley  Wagstaff 
Landscape  Architect 

^pHOSE  who  are  natively  endowed  with  artistic  talent  appreciate  art  in 
^  its  various  phases  to  the  fullest  extent.  Not,  however,  because  they  are 
thus  endowed;  but  rather  because  the  natural  tendency  has  stimulated  them 
to  study. 

'There  exists  even  in  those  who,  through  lack  of  desire  or  opportunity, 
have  failed  to  study  art,  a  certain  elemental  appreciation  of  all  things  beau¬ 
tiful,  which  they  have  acquired  unconsciously  through  comparative  observ¬ 
ance.  Therefore  we  may  assume  that,  disregarding  natural  talent,  apprecia¬ 
tion  of  art  and  even  ability  to  execute  mav  be  acquired  and  is  within  reach 
of  us  all. 

1  will  apply  this  theorv  to  the  arrangement  of  garden  ornaments  and  acces¬ 
sories  which  is  a  part  of  the  fine  art  of  landscape  gardening.  The  ability  to 
arrange  garden  furniture  so  that  it  enhances  the  loveliness  of  the  entire  gar¬ 
den  may  be  acquired  through  observation  and  training. 

Since  architectural  ornaments  in  gardens  are  so  often  hopelessly  mis¬ 
placed,  it  is  the  purpose  of  this  brief  outline  to  offer  guidance  for  the  disposi¬ 
tion  of  some  of  them. 

First,  I  do  not  consider  as  garden  furniture  the  cast  iron  reindeer,  imita¬ 
tion  tree  stump,  and  similar  objects.  They  are  oddities  and  monstrosities, 
and  their  exclusion  from  this  list  needs  no  explanation. 

The  placing  of  a  piece  of  garden  furniture  in  the  midst  of  an  open  lawn  can 
no  more  be  justified  than  the  placing  of  a  similar  object  in  the  middle  of  a 
room.  Pieces  placed  in  this  position,  monopolize  rather  than  adorn,  and 
detract  attention  from  the  beauty  of  the  area  as  a  whole. 

The  tiniest  garden  need  not  be  without  a  bathing  and  drinking  place  for 
birds. 

The  pedestal  bird  bath  of  stone  or  imitation  stone  is  most  desirable,  and 
should  be  placed  well  toward  the  shrub  border  of  the  lawn. 

The  contrast  of  a  gracefully  designed  bird  bath  outlined  against  the  back¬ 
ground  of  rich  green  shrubbery  is  very  effective. 

The  beauty,  majesty,  and  historic  interest  of  the  sun-dial  make  it  one  of 
the  most  desirable  of  garden  features.  This  most  ancient  of  timepieces 


3 


should  be  placed  in  an  open  position  where  the  sunlight  may  play  unob¬ 
structed  upon  its  dial.  Accompanying  this  article  is  an  average  suburban 
home.  You  will  note  that  in  this  plan  the  sun-dial  is  used  as  the  central  point 
of  interest  in  the  small  formal  garden. 

From  mythological  origin  we  have,  as  garden  ornaments,  the  Hermae. 
They  are  excellent  pieces  of  garden  statuary  composed  of  beautifully  tapered 
pillars  surmounted  by  heads  which  now  vary  in  character,  but  which  origi¬ 
nally  represented  the  god  Hermes.  This  piece  is  best  placed  against  a  high 
wall  of  shrubbery,  thrown  in  a  clear  relief  against  a  wall  of  evergreens,  or  in  a 
niche  shaped  for  it  in  a  solid  green  hedge. 

The  garden  seat  has  its  place  in  a  widened  space  at  the  side  of  a  garden 
path,  at  the  end  of  a  path,  ’neath  the  cool  shade  of  a  lawn  tree,  or  some  other 
desirable  vantage  point  in  the  garden  where  we  may  rest  and  admire  the 
many  beauties  surrounding  us. 

To  suggest  in  general  the  location  of  a  summer  house  or  pergola  is  rather 
difficult.  The  walks  in  and  around  a  garden  area  must  have  an  objective 
point.  The  summer  house  is  sometimes  located  as  this  objective.  As  you  will 
note  in  the  accompanying  design,  the  pergola  is  placed  at  the  rear  of  the 
private  lawn  area,  on  an  axis  with  the  main  path  of  the  formal  garden,  and 
terminates  the  vista  through  the  garden. 

Let  us,  by  caring  for  our  gardens,  by  selecting  well-designed  garden  acces¬ 
sories,  and  placing  them  effectively,  cause  our  outdoor  retreats  to  “invite  to 
occupancy.”  Let  us  have  an  outdoor  living  room  where  “all  the  privacy  and 
lounging  indolence  of  indoors  is  possible  out  under  the  blue  in  the  fragrant 
sweetness  of  a  true  garden.”

Bird  Baths 

One  of  the  most  popular  uses  to  which 
art  stone  has  been  adapted  is  the  bird 
bath.  Whether  used  as  part  of  a  defi¬ 
nite  garden  design  or  simply  placed  in  a 
convenient  spot  near  the  trees,  noth¬ 
ing  adds  such  an  interesting  feature  as 
a  bird  bath;  for  the  songsters  quickly 
avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity 
for  relief  from  the  heat  and  dust.  If 
there  are  any  song  birds  in  your  vicin¬

and  use  your  bird  bath.  It  is  a  well 
known  fact  that  the  inroad  of  insects 
rapidly  diminishes  in  gardens  where 
provision  is  made  for  martins  and 
other  birds  to  bathe  and  house  them¬ 
selves.  It  offers  an  interesting  diver¬ 
sion  and  a  pleasant  means  of  instruct¬ 
ing  children  in  the  characteristics  of 
the  feathered  inhabitants  of  their  own

Benches,  Chairs  and  Tables 

Cool  and  inviting  against  the  dark 
green  of  the  garden’s  foliage,  an  art 
stone  chair  or  bench  offers  a  restful 
retreat  from  the  heat  of  a  midsum¬ 
mer’s  day.  A  nearby  table  of  the  same 
material  provides  a  convenient  place 
for  magazines  and  cooling  drinks. 
Skillful  placing  of  the  designs  shown 
on  this  and  the  four  following  pages, 
add  a  note  of  strength  and  dignity 
which  greatly  enhances  the  effect  of 
any  landscape  effort.  Once  installed, 
any  of  these  pieces  will  be  a  source  of 
constant  gratification  for  generations 
to  come.

Gazing  Globes 


An  heritage  from  the  mystic  East,  the  Gazing  Globe  and  its  pedestal  of 
classic  design  have  come  to  lend  a  romantic  touch  to  a  garden  spot.  It  may 
be  employed  in  a  large  number  of  ways,  ranging  from  the  central  figure  of  a 
small  group  to  a  final  touch  of  decoration  in  larger  gardens.  The  globes  come 
in  ten  and  twelve  inch  diameter.  They  are  made  of  the  finest  crystal  glass, 
heavily  silvered  so  that  they  reflect  an  interesting  picture  of  the  surrounding 
landscape.  The  prices  quoted  on  pedestals  include  globes  of  correct  diameter. 

For  the  more  practical  minded  nothing  gives  so  much 
pleasure  as  a  garden  telescope.  A  powerful  magnifier;  re¬ 
quires  no  care  or  attention  after  it  has  once  been  set  up. 
always  ready  to  study  the  stars  or  watch  the  birds  and  ani¬ 
mals  from  an  undisturbing  distance.  Complete  with

Sun  Dials  and 
Pedestals 

One  of  the  oldest  and  most  interesting 
forms  of  garden  ornaments  is  the  sun¬ 
dial.  Strictly  speaking,  the  term  dial 
applies  only  to  the  face  on  which  the 
characters  appear,  but  convenient  us¬ 
age  has  come  to  include  the  pedestal 
and  base  as  well.  The  prices  on  this 
page  are  for  pedestals  only,  the  dials 
themselves  being  shown  on  the  next

In  the  olden  days  before  the  in¬ 
vention  of  and  use  of  watches,  the 
sun-dial  was  undoubtedly  the  cen¬ 
tral  figure  of  both  the  formal  and 
the  unconventional  garden.  Now-a- 
days  its  function  is  almost  purely 
ornamental,  although  it  often  re¬ 
tains  its  position  as  the  objective 
point  of  the  garden. 

The  pedestals  shown  here  have  a 
variety  of  designs  which  add  a  note

In  ordering,  always  state  where  Sun-dial  is  to  be  used,  giving  county  and  state,  so 
that  dial  will  be  correct  for  the  latitude.  In  setting  the  dial  it  must  be  placed  so 
that  the  center  of  the  noon  mark  is  pointing  to  the  true  north  (not  magnetic),  with 
the  stile  or  gnomon  perpendicular,  inclining  neither  to  the  right  nor  left.  As  the 
declination  or  deviation  of  the  compass  from  the  true  north  varies  in  different  local¬ 
ities  and  at  different  times,  we  furnish  correct  reading  for  your  latitude  when  desired.

Fountains 

Nothing  adds  so  much  even  to 
the  smallest  garden  as  a  pleasing 
bit  of  water,  and  the  installation 
of  a  fountain  has  long  been  recog¬ 
nized  as  one  of  the  easiest  meth¬ 
ods  to  create  quiet,  restful  atmos¬ 
phere  which  should  be  the  ambi¬ 
tion  of  every  garden  builder. 
Fountains  lend  themselves  to 
every  imaginable  sort  of  garden 
treatment,  ranging  from  the  sim¬ 
plest  to  the  most  formal.  There 
are  types  best  suited  to  be  used  in 
pools,  others  for  lily  ponds,  and 
still  other  designs  for  the  open 
lawn  in  the  more  formal  garden. 
The  models  illustrated  here  fol¬ 
low  closely  the  most  approved 
classic  designs  which  have  gained 
the  admiration  of  thousands  of 
visitors  to  the  old  villas  near

Rome;  for  from  Italy  come  the 
finest  examples  of  the  best  use  of 
water  in  adding  to  the  charm  of 
gardens.  From  Frascati  in  the 
Alban  hills  near  Rome,  from  the 
old  villas  of  Tivoli  in  the  Sabine 
hills  and  from  the  Villa  d’Este 
have  come  a  variety  of  beauti¬ 
fully  sculptured  designs  employ¬ 
ing  urns  and  shells  and  tritons 
and  dolphins  and  other  figure 
subjects  which  have  their  origin 
in  ancient  mythology. 

Art  stone  lends  itself  beauti¬ 
fully  to  the  classic  lines  of  the 
Italian  masters  as  well  as  provid¬ 
ing  a  material  which  only  im¬ 
proves  upon  exposure  to  the 
weather.  Our  plan  department  will 
gladly  cooperate  with  architects 
or  owners  desiring  information 
about  designs  to  be  made  up  fol¬ 
lowing  individual  specifications.

Fountain  Figures 

The  fountain  figures  illus¬ 
trated  on  this  and  the  op¬ 
posite  page  may  be  purchased 
separately  for  use  in  pools 
and  fountains, oranvwhere  a 
spray  of  water  is  wanted. 
Wherever  needed  they  are 
all  piped  and  require  only 
the  “wipe  joint”  which  any 
plumber  can  make;  the 
smaller  pieces  standing  either 
in  the  pool  itself  or  on  the 
parapet  of  the  basin.  The 
illustrations  do  full  justice 
to  the  pleasing  and  rather 
friendly  appearance  of  the 
smaller  pieces  which  add  a 
very  pleasing  touch  at  small 
cost.

Wall  Fountains 

These  pleasing  adaptations  from  the 
drinking  fountains  of  the  ancients  have  a 
wide  range  of  practical  as  well  as  orna¬ 
mental  uses.  They  may  be  effectively 
employed  inside  the  home,  especially  in 
sun  rooms,  as  well  as  in  the  garden  where 
they  find  attractive  settings  on  brick  or 
stone  walls.  Here  again  the  desirability 
of  art  stone  is  clearly  shown  and  the  pos¬ 
sibilities  of  its  employment  in  every  kind 
of  design,  ranging  from  the  simplest  bowl 
on  up  to  a  complicated  design  in  deeply 
carved  motifs. 

On  pages  59  and  60  are  sections  with 
measurements  for  these  fountains.  Any 
further  information  will  be  furnished 
upon  request.

Flower  Boxes 

Art  stone  is  not  a  good  conductor  of  heat — a  highly  de¬ 
sirable  feature  for  flower  boxes,  because  it  enables  the 
plants  to  retain  their  moisture  for  a  much  longer  period. 
Plants  kept  in  art  stone  vases  or  flower  boxes  have  every 
opportunity  to  grow  and  flourish.  The  types  shown  here 
cover  every  use  for  floor  boxes,  porch  ferneries,  hang¬ 
ing  on  walls  and  supported  on  pedestals.  All  flower 
boxes  are  provided  with  drain  holes  in  the  bottom,  but 
they  may  be  placed  in  the  sides  if  desired.

Pedestal  Vases 

For  adding  a  colorful  bit  of 

contrast  complete  in  itself,  a 

pedestal  urn  is  one  of  the 

most  effective.  It  may  be  em- 

* 

ployed  singly  or  in  pairs, 
marking  off  certain  areas  of 
open  lawn  or  on  porches  at 
the  head  of  balustrades;  in 
fact,  in  almost  a  limitless 
range  of  positions.  The  de¬ 
signs  shown  here  follow  the 
best  practice  in  combining 
the  urn  shapes  with  the  more 
purely  architectural  design  of 
the  pedestal.

height  such  as  wall  tops,  these 
urn  designs  will  be  found  very 
effective.  There  is  no  easier 
way  to  add  interesting  decora¬ 
tive  spots,  for  the  pieces  them¬ 
selves  have  beautiful  lines. 
Flowers  and  foliage  plants  may 
be  used  according  to  the  sea¬ 
son.

Hermae 

Originally  these  pieces  al¬ 
ways  carried  the  head  of 
Hermes,  from  which  the 
name  is  derived,  but  for 
many  years  they  have 
carried  a  wide  variety  of 
heads.  These  pieces  may 
be  used  in  a  wide  variety 
of  ways,  ranging  from  sin¬ 
gle  pieces  standing  above, 
to  newel  posts  for  balus¬ 
trades.  In  the  small  gar¬ 
den  they  serve  admirably 
in  the  place  of  more  com¬ 
plicated,  more  expensive 
pieces  of  statuary.

Balustrades 

The  above  balustrades  are  examples  showing  another  use  of  Art  Stone. 
As  sizes  of  sunken  gardens,  porches  (or  wherever  balustrade  can  be  used) 
are  not  standard,  it  is  not  practical  to  select  stock  designs  for  same.  Our 
Service  Department  can  plan  your  work  if  measurements  are  sent  us.  Approx¬ 
imate  prices  can  be  furnished  upon  request.
